Chapter 794: Chapter 795: Danger Approaches 5
Successfully driving away the Jiang Family group, the Ruan Family had a beautiful comeback. Surrounding merchants eagerly gathered around with congratulations and praisesâthis is reality; when youâre down, they canât wait to step on you, but when youâre flourishing, they rush to lift you up.
After dealing with everyone, Ruan Weidong bowed to Nianyang in gratitude, "Nianyang, girl, thank you so very much. If it werenât for you, our Ruan Family would be utterly finished."
Nianyang shook her head with a smile, "Uncle Ruan, thereâs no need to thank me. Weâre partners, arenât we?"
Ruan Jinhua scratched the back of his head and apologized, "Miss Nianyang, I judged by appearances and didnât trust you before, and was quite offensive. I hope you can forgive my superficial ignorance. Youâre truly a great benefactor to our Ruan Family. In the future, just a word from you, and Iâll go through fire and water for you."
Nianyang didnât mind Ruan Jinhua. She had grown accustomed to being questioned all along her journey, and each time, without needing to argue, she simply used her strength to prove people wrong.
The Ruan Familyâs unwrapped stones were taken by the staff at Gambling Stone City, soon to be auctioned, while Ruan Weidong and Ruan Jinhua went backstage directly to sign a cooperation deal with Gambling Stone City.
Meanwhile, Jiang Sheng and his group arrived in the tranquil backyard of the gambling stone hall, a place devoid of people. Unrestrained now, Jiang Sheng turned around and gave Jiang Huan a heavy slap, causing him to scream in agony.
"Dad, Dad, I was wrong. Please donât hit me, I beg of you."
Outwardly dignified, Jiang Huan was at this moment groveling like a dog at Jiang Shengâs feet, crying miserably.
Jiang Sheng cursed vehemently, "Donât call me Dad! I couldnât possibly have a fool of a daughter like you. All because you insisted on suggesting we gamble on stones, claiming the Jade King was formidable. What happened? I spent eight million on a bunch of useless rocks, we were nearly assured the top position, now itâs all ruined, and we personally handed the top spot to the Ruan Family. Are you satisfied now?"
Jiang Lianjie also spat at Jiang Huan, "Exactly, itâs all your fault. If you hadnât bet against Chu Nianyang, would we be suffering like this? Look at us now, the Jiang Family is on the verge of bankruptcy because of you, you jinx! Why donât you just die!"
Jiang Huan cried wretchedly, filled with hatred in her heart. Look at them, her own dad and brother, who were utterly supportive when she first suggested the idea.
Now that trouble has struck, theyâre shoving all the blame onto her.
She so desperately wanted to kill them, but she couldnât. Alone and helpless, she had no choice but to rely on them, choking back sobs as she spoke, "Dad, Brother, I didnât know it would turn out like this. Donât you find it strange? How could Chu Nianyang possibly defeat the Jade King? Thereâs got to be something fishy going on here!"
Jiang Sheng pondered, "Youâre absolutely right. That girl claims itâs luck, fooling only the idiots. I donât buy the luck story, still saying thereâs surely a secret artifact on her."
Jiang Lianjie added, "But what good does knowing do us? Weâve already failed. We canât even push the Ruan Family out of the way, how can we possibly subdue Chu Nianyang!"
Jiang Shengâs face became dark and grim as he glared at Jiang Huan again, Jiang Huan was terrified of being hit, quickly trying to remedy the situation,
"Dad, brother, I have a way. I have a way to make Chu Nianyang listen to us, to make her hand over the secret."
Jiang Sheng replied coldly, "What on earth could you, fool, figure out? Better not show me any useless tricks!"
